Question

find the median of first ten natural numbers.it is equal to their mean​

Answer 1

Answer:

Firstly, a natural number is an integer greater than 0. Natural numbers begin at 1 and increment to infinity: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

Therefore, the first ten natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

And the mean of three numbers a, b, c is a + b + c3a + b + c3.

Then the mean of 10 numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 is:-

⇒1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+1010⇒1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+1010

Adding and dividing we get the value of the above term as,

⇒1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+1010=5510=5.5⇒1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+1010=5510=5.5

Hence, the mean of the first 10 natural numbers is 5.5.

Note – In this problem you need to know that the mean of the three numbers a, b, c is a + b + c3a + b + c3 and the integers greater than zero are natural numbers. Knowing methods to find the mean of number of elements and knowing about natural numbers you will get the right answer.
